Polish President Duda's Potential Meeting with Trump in Pennsylvania
Polish President Andrzej Duda might hold talks with Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, a key battleground state in the U.S. elections. Duda will attend a Solidarity monument unveiling and aims to discuss Polish-U.S. relations and the Ukraine war. The meeting, yet unconfirmed, would be a significant event.
Polish President Andrzej Duda may meet with Donald Trump on Sunday in Pennsylvania, according to a senior Polish official, corroborating an earlier Reuters report. This potential meeting is notable as it would be a rare event where a foreign leader joins a U.S. presidential campaign trail.
Pennsylvania, home to a significant Polish American community, is a key battleground in the tight race for the November 5 U.S. presidential election. Duda, known for his close ties with Trump from his presidency term (2017-2021), will also attend the unveiling of a Solidarity monument. The meeting remains unconfirmed as Trump is yet to respond to the invitation.
The meeting, if it takes place, will cover significant topics such as Polish-U.S. relations, Poland's security, and the ongoing war in Ukraine. Duda has been a strong advocate for a tough U.S. stance against Russia, contrasting with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's approach. Both Trump and Duda last met in April in New York.
